Lifeboat

A life raft is an inflatable emergency boat essential for your boat. A life raft only deploys as a last resort, only if you are faced with an abandon ship. Your raft is part of the mandatory safety equipment on board your boat for any navigation beyond 6 NM. In the event of a shipwreck, it is your life raft, or lifeboat, which will allow you to wait for help in the shelter. It will allow you to float on the water, protecting you from bad weather while signaling your presence. A survival raft is a raft with an automatic inflation system upon launch, which will allow you to be safe while waiting for rescue support.

Our life rafts are divided into two large families. On one side we find the coastal life raft for navigation within 6 miles of a shelter, and the offshore life raft for offshore navigation. All models available on our site are offered in 4, 6, 8 or 10 and 12 seat versions for the largest formats. Your raft must be suitable for the number of people you are taking on board.

LIFE RAFT, FOR RESCUE AT SEA

Installing a life raft is obligatoryif you practice coastal navigation, more than 6 nautical miles. You will need to have a life raft with a number of available places corresponding to the number of people on board your boat. You will need to place it on your deck, whether it is packaged in a bag or container. The containers can also be hung on a location provided for this purpose on the hull of the boat. The most reliable life rafts on the market are produced by Plastimo. Especially remember the Cruiser, Coastal and Transocean models which are favored by the vast majority of experienced sailors. They meet ISO and SOLAS standards. These life rafts are assembled in France, at Plastimo in Lorient.

Plastimo Survival Raft

. Adopting the ISO 9650-1 standard, the transocean model exists in 2 types of armament (-24 h and +24 h) and for group capacities of 2 to 12 people. Its insulating double bottom and its tent with arch constitute a high quality shelter for rescue. For more details, the transocean raft adopts an automatic inflatable system and is stored in a bag or container. Plastimo being a manufacturer recognized in the world of navigation for its survival rafts, we also offer the ISAF Plastimo Transoceanic Rafts. This second model Transocean is a transocean iso bag raft or container to which ISAF category 1 and 2 certifications have been added to comply with racing regulations. Like the previous raft, it therefore adopts a tent on a pole, a reinforced double bottom as well as the two types of equipment with packaging in a bag or container. Its slightly higher price will therefore allow you to adopt all the certifications mentioned and support you during extreme conditions of use.

If your container is damaged or you have not opted for this type of packaging, thePlastimo Universal Raft Support allows you to add a container to your boat. Horizontally or vertically, this container can accommodate a padlock to secure it. For example, it will allow you to replace the transocean iso container on board your boat that may be damaged or aging. This product is only a container, it does not contain a life raft inside.
